Two Speed Europe. Key thinkers on the French left, Jean-Noël Jeanneney, Pascal Lamy, Henri Nallet and Dominique Strauss-Kahn, argue in Europe: pour aller plus loin for a new inner union between France and Germany. This union would involve a permanent secretariat, joint meetings of the French and German cabinets and joint meetings of the Bundestag and the Assemblée Nationale.

France, Germany and a Hard Core Europe is published by the Centre for European Reform.
